Celebrity Suicides

Have noticed a huge rise in the numbers of celebrity suicides this year.

I understand that the media are now starting to report more truthfully on the cause of death. And families aren't hiding behind stigma of mental illness.

But I'm wondering if a possible increase in celebrity suicides (& all suicides) could be due to the world we are currently living in.

The news is depressing. People dying in Syria, Palestine, Myanmar,etc. The threat of nuclear war. The talk of a World War 3. Deforestation. Plastics pollution. Animal extinctions. Corporate greed. Increase in homelessness. Housing affordability. etc etc.

Where is our sense of Community? Why aren't we looking after the most vulnerable people in our community anymore? Where has the connection with nature gone? Our empathy with others?

Is it that those of us who 'feel' are more susceptible to MI? Are those that deal with life and see no problems, who go with the status flow, are they numb or blind to what is happening?

Another celebrity death. Makes me wonder if I too will one day succumb to suicide.
